Damon Albarn Says He's Writing a Musical

Also watch him play Blur's "Tender" live with Graham Coxon

Blur's Damon Albarn says he's writing a musical, as NME reports. Albarn shared few details, but told The Daily Starit will be "a mainstream musical for families." He said:

It's funny for me to say, 'I'm writing a musical', but yes, that's what I'm doing next. It's something I've always wanted to do, because musicals are great when they're done well. It started out with the same subject matter but was going to be a leftfield, experimental opera. But it's lurched into a mainstream musical for families.

In other Albarn news, this weekend he reunited with Blur guitarist Graham Coxon on stage at the UK's Latitude Festival. They played 1999's "Tender", from the album 13, together. Watch below via Consequence of Sound.
